Streaming Solutions for Education

Across all grade levels, the benefits of video in the classroom are immediate and tangible:  rich immersive learning environments, improved lesson retention, unlimited access to new materials and subjects  -- and overall better student engagement.  Common uses of video in K-12 schools include lecture capture, educational films, event broadcasting, rebroadcasting public and  educational TV, inter-school collaboration, community outreach, digital storytelling and the creation of student generated content.  Video also enables specialized teachers to share their expertise with students on a town-wide or county-wide basis.

Lecture Capture and Distribution

By connecting each campus with VBrick's EtherneTV system, OSU has reduced the burden on their media services team by automating the recording, encoding and distribution process. In addition, the network distribution has all but removed their dependency on satellite broadcasts
Since 1997, VBrick has helped more than one thousand educational institutions build compelling, video based curriculums.  We work closely with schools that are committed to 1:1 computing initiatives where every student is armed with a tablet; and to the “flip-the-classroom” concept where teachers capture their lectures via video for students to watch as homework --opening up classroom time for more interactive and group exercises.
